This building forms part of the former British Army tennis courts, originally built for use by officers. The façade has five arches; the central being the main door, with two arches on each side serving as windows and all having stone-panelled sills and louvered shutters.

The rectangular pavilion originally styled as a roofed shelter was later converted into a changing room with ablutions and room for the storage of tennis equipment. The outer walls are all of a hammered stone finish. A cornice runs at roof level, above which is a low parapet wall adorned with carved panels bearing the Maltese Cross. The embossed date 1907 and the initials P.R.T.C. (Pembroke Ranges Tennis Club) are embossed in stone above the door.

Mepa scheduled the Ex-British Services Tennis Pavilion at Pembroke as a Grade 2 building of historic, architectural and contextual value as it forms part of a larger already scheduled military complex as per Government Notice number 880/09 in the Government Gazette dated October 30, 2009. According to Structure Plan policy UCO 7 for historic buildings minor internal alterations may be acceptable, while there is a presumption against alterations on the façades.
